Dallas Cowboys coach Andy Reid? According to one report, it’s not that far-fetched an idea.

The Trenton Times' Mark Eckel, citing a source close to Reid, reported Sunday that the embattled Philadelphia Eagles coach could jump to his team's longtime rival next season if the Cowboys fire Jason Garrett.

“I know a lot of people think Andy is going to San Diego next year (if the Chargers fire Norv Turner), and I can see that happening,” the source, who asked not to be identified, told Eckel. “But I keep hearing Dallas. I think he can end up with the Cowboys. As a matter of fact, I think he will end up with the Cowboys, if Jason is fired.”

The Eagles are expected to dismiss Reid before long. Philadelphia is 3-9 and has lost eight consecutive games, including a 38-33 Sunday night loss to Dallas. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie said before the season that an 8-8 record would be "unacceptable."

Garrett's job is seen as more secure, although the 6-6 Cowboys are in danger of missing the playoffs. Team owner/general manager Jerry Jones has publicly supported Garrett this season.

Eckel's source tried to make the case that Reid and Jones would be able to work together. Jones makes the Cowboys' personnel decisions, a power Reid enjoys in Philadelphia.

“I think Andy would be a good fit with the Cowboys,” the source was quoted by Eckel as saying. “I feel he would get along fine with Jerry. It would be the two of them working together, no middle man to get in the way.”

Reid will get an up-close look at his purported future team when the Eagles and Cowboys meet tonight at Cowboys Stadium.
